More Mosolino History

I finally located the ship manifest from the Ellis Island records for the arrival of Musolinos. The ship was the Algeria, arriving August 9, 1902 from Naples.
Dominico was not on this ship. His wife (my great grandmother) Maria traveled under her maiden name, Mercurio. Who knows why? Also her age is listed as 42, which seems questionable. The children traveling with her were Antonio (8), Caterina (6), Giovianni(4) and Domenico(2), all with Musolino as last name. Last residence was listed as Montebello. Maria was joining her husband Domenico at 166 Elisabeth St. so he must have arrived previously. However, the only record I find for him is Dominic Musolino age 31 arriving on the Massilia from Naples on April 16, 1904 going to 143 Mulbury St, previously from Reggio Calabria.
